Speaker:still dealing with that, folks.
Speaker:We encourage you to reach out if you're
Speaker:trying to reach out to us,
Speaker:DM us on our socials.
Speaker:You can always reach us that way.
Speaker:And in my bio, my Instagram bio,
Speaker:there's a link tree link,

Speaker:us directly.
Speaker:But for now,
Speaker:until the website's up and running,
Speaker:we encourage you to like,
Speaker:share and subscribe to our YouTube
Speaker:channel.
Speaker:We've gotten a bunch since my podcast with
Speaker:Pastor Jack.
Speaker:So we're very, very grateful for you all.
Speaker:And yeah, thank you for joining us.
Speaker:Yeah, might be affecting our podcast, too,
Speaker:because that has been a bear.
Speaker:I've been working on that for a month.
Speaker:to get those back up and running.
Speaker:The podcast on iHeartRadio, Spotify,
Speaker:all that kind of stuff.
Speaker:It is crazy.
Speaker:Welcome to our world.
Speaker:Fight the good fight, folks.
Speaker:That's what we're talking about today.
Speaker:You fight against evil.
Speaker:Tell the truth.
Speaker:This is what happens.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Make sure that you comment.
Speaker:Let us know what you think about
Speaker:everything that's going on here on the
Speaker:show and in the world.
Speaker:Just type it in there.
Speaker:The more you comment,
Speaker:the more it'll push it out to other
Speaker:people that may not normally see it
Speaker:because the social media supposedly,
Speaker:who knows now, will say, hey,
Speaker:these people are watching.
Speaker:They're commenting.
Speaker:They're liking what's being done on the
Speaker:show.
Speaker:And so they were supposed to push it
Speaker:out to other people so they can see
Speaker:it.
Speaker:But let's just keep doing it.
Speaker:The more we talk about it,
Speaker:the more people have the chance to see
Speaker:it.
Speaker:And then make sure if you have any
Speaker:prayer requests,
Speaker:make sure to put those in the chat.
Speaker:Let us know what we can pray for
Speaker:you for at the end of the show.
Speaker:We end in prayer.
Speaker:And we would love to include your prayer
Speaker:request right there.
Speaker:So just a couple announcements we'll say
Speaker:now and say it at the end for
Speaker:the people that joined late.
Speaker:But busy Thanksgiving.
Speaker:We had a whole bunch of people over.
Speaker:So we had like,
Speaker:I don't know how many now.
Speaker:It was supposed to be sixteen.
Speaker:Then people canceled the last minute and
Speaker:about fifteen people.
Speaker:And then next week I leave tomorrow for
Speaker:a court case in Illinois.
Speaker:And then my son graduates from the boot
Speaker:camp as an expert witness in a court
Speaker:case.
Speaker:I'm not being,
Speaker:that's what Andy does for a living.
Speaker:I'm not being indicted.
Speaker:Um, but then, uh, who knows what,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:some of the things I've been hearing
Speaker:lately that people are trying to get me
Speaker:on.
Speaker:Um, and then after that, uh,
Speaker:my son Kelly, our son Kelly, uh,
Speaker:graduates from, uh, US army.
Speaker:And so I'm going to go straight from
Speaker:Illinois to Georgia and we'll be there
Speaker:next week.
Speaker:So yeah,
Speaker:it's going to be a pretty big break
Speaker:before we are able to come back on.
Speaker:So that's what's going on.
Speaker:But what's going on in the world, Schnugs?
Speaker:What's happening?
Speaker:So we've gotten a lot of emails and
Speaker:requests for advice, basically.
Speaker:We've got a new mosque going up in
Speaker:different cities.
Speaker:People after the podcast wanted to know,
Speaker:what can we do?
Speaker:How do we get involved?
Speaker:What do you suggest?
Speaker:And so we came up with an outline.
Speaker:And of course, my topic is education.
Speaker:Islamization of America,
Speaker:but Andy's topic is just, you know,
Speaker:how would you describe it, socialism,
Speaker:communism?
Speaker:Well, it started with schools,
Speaker:finding out that I was now going to
Speaker:have to be educated on communism,
Speaker:socialism, humanism,
Speaker:all kinds of stuff all kinds of isms
Speaker:create the spiritual vacuum that allow
Speaker:everything else that's happening in the
Speaker:country right now to exist it's detaching
Speaker:us from our judeo-christian values so this
Speaker:is this is the milieu that this generation
Speaker:has grown up in it's basically devoid of
Speaker:any spiritual practices leaving this
Speaker:vacuum
Speaker:of people walking around that just don't
Speaker:believe things, that don't want to work.
Speaker:That's why the rise of the Democratic
Speaker:Socialists of America.
Speaker:I had a really interesting talk with
Speaker:Zahra, our daughter today,
Speaker:about what is socialism.
Speaker:We were watching a really interesting
Speaker:movie that was portraying it.
Speaker:And I was like,
Speaker:it's just basically young people looking
Speaker:around America and being like,
Speaker:I think I want everything to be free
Speaker:because I want to stay home because I
Speaker:don't like to work.
Speaker:And
Speaker:And I told her, you know,
Speaker:what it leads to,
Speaker:it leads to the decline.
Speaker:The ridiculous part about it is that
Speaker:everybody looks around and says, oh,
Speaker:everything's going to stay the same.
Speaker:I'm still going to have the Starbucks on
Speaker:every corner,
Speaker:but I'm just not going to pay for
Speaker:things.
Speaker:And it's so ignorant and naive because
Speaker:nothing stays the same.
Speaker:And I explained to her, I said,
Speaker:When the doctor and the Taco Bell worker
Speaker:receive the same amount of money,
Speaker:guess what?
Speaker:Nobody goes to medical school anymore.
Speaker:And then think about what happens to your
Speaker:health care.
Speaker:And then businesses leave because they
Speaker:can't get money because the government's
Speaker:taking all their money.
Speaker:So the wealthy people,
Speaker:the smart people leave.
Speaker:And what you're left with is the corner
Speaker:state grocery store that'll give you a
Speaker:pound of potatoes and a bag of rice.
Speaker:And I said,
Speaker:and it doesn't look anything like it does
Speaker:right now.
Speaker:And she's like,
Speaker:why would people want that?
Speaker:Exactly.
Speaker:It's never worked.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:It's never worked anywhere in the world.
Speaker:But it costs millions of lives over the
Speaker:years.
Speaker:Every country that tries it,
Speaker:millions of people are killed and die of
Speaker:starvation.
Speaker:And it is it has been something that
Speaker:has been tried for hundreds of years,
Speaker:maybe thousands of years.
Speaker:And it just simply doesn't work.
Speaker:And so along those lines,
Speaker:just to kind of
Speaker:understand how we got here because you
Speaker:know six or seven years ago when i
Speaker:started fighting at the school boards it
Speaker:was like what's this nonsense like it's
Speaker:almost like it's something that seemingly
Speaker:just appeared right and so we were talking
Speaker:about things like critical race theory um
Speaker:and um
Speaker:pornography in the schools,
Speaker:in the libraries of elementary schools.
Speaker:The sex education has gone completely
Speaker:bananas in what it is.
Speaker:They're teaching kids about how to have
Speaker:different kinds of sex,
Speaker:not
Speaker:like it was when we were in school
Speaker:to avoid sexually transmitted diseases
Speaker:through abstinence.
Speaker:And learning how you make a baby.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:And so this is,
Speaker:and so in doing that,
Speaker:what I've come to learn,
Speaker:especially over the last couple of years,
Speaker:and then more recently,
Speaker:I've found some really great sources and
Speaker:authors and experts in the area that this
Speaker:has been going on since the eighteen
Speaker:twenties.
Speaker:And at the time they knew it was
Speaker:going to take a long time,
Speaker:and early on they said this is going
Speaker:to have to be a slow roll.
Speaker:And I'm going to name a bunch of
Speaker:men a little bit later on and how
Speaker:we got here.
Speaker:But early on, humanism,
Speaker:which is a form of socialism,
Speaker:which means the individual is more
Speaker:important, and then the collectivism,
Speaker:it means that everybody collectively will
Speaker:live the same.
Speaker:So collectivism, humanism, Marxism,
Speaker:socialism, communism is all the same,
Speaker:essentially.
Speaker:There's some slight differences here and
Speaker:there.
Speaker:Nobody go crazy and start yelling at me.
Speaker:But they are simply saying that God has
Speaker:no... it doesn't exist.
Speaker:God has no place in anything that we
Speaker:think about or do.
Speaker:That humans are good and sinless.
Speaker:And if we just everybody was exactly the
Speaker:same, everything would be perfect,
Speaker:a utopia.
Speaker:And so back in the eighteen twenties,
Speaker:Robert Owen knew that he had to get
Speaker:into the education system to begin to
Speaker:change our education system,
Speaker:to get the Bible and to get God
Speaker:out of schools.
Speaker:That's how far back the starts in the
Speaker:twenties and started learning from some of
Speaker:the most diabolical leaders of the world.
Speaker:And
Speaker:the communist countries at the time to
Speaker:learn how to do this because they were
Speaker:doing it already in their schools and so
Speaker:he would go to you know soviet union
Speaker:china to learn how they were doing this
Speaker:in their schools and brought it to the
Speaker:united states so that's really how it
Speaker:started and this has been a slow role
Speaker:um but intentional role right uh in in
Speaker:getting it out because they knew if they
Speaker:tried to take bibles out like immediately
Speaker:that it wouldn't happen it had to be
Speaker:something that he did slowly
Speaker:And the interesting thing for us has been,
Speaker:as I delve more deeply and trying to
Speaker:explain the Islamist threat,
Speaker:it is these two movements,
Speaker:the merger isn't just convenience.
Speaker:It is that spiritual vacuum created by the
Speaker:hundred years of work from eighteen twenty
Speaker:to about nineteen twenty,
Speaker:which is when the Brotherhood,
Speaker:the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamization,
Speaker:the civilizational jihad that you've heard
Speaker:about.
Speaker:So basically, from the early days,
Speaker:Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb,
Speaker:the theologians,
Speaker:the architects of the Brotherhood,
Speaker:learned from this Marxist theory.
Speaker:That's the foundation for which they built
Speaker:their platform,
Speaker:is they took all of that knowledge and
Speaker:basically...
Speaker:planted it on top of Islam to make
Speaker:this movement.
Speaker:And so there is a synergy between the
Speaker:two that goes way,
Speaker:way before and way deeper than the current
Speaker:alliance that we see.
Speaker:which is that people thought was just like
Speaker:this red-green alliance just suddenly like
Speaker:morphed as a result of being against
Speaker:conservatives.
Speaker:But no,
Speaker:it's been an intentional alliance from the
Speaker:very beginning.
Speaker:People are very patient because this has
Speaker:been going on for thousands of years.
Speaker:Well, the Islamic one is coming, for sure.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And the way that they blended together.
Speaker:Do you believe that...
Speaker:The would it be the the socialist Marxist
Speaker:people had any idea that they would ever
Speaker:team up with Islam,
Speaker:that that was ever a potential or it
Speaker:just seems that these have just come
Speaker:together, realizing in the last decade.
Speaker:fifty years or so that... Well, no,
Speaker:it started back in the nineteen twenties.
Speaker:So when Sayyid Qutb,
Speaker:when the architects of the Brotherhood
Speaker:began back in the nineteen twenties,
Speaker:they drew from Marxist literature.
Speaker:So they drew from that knowledge that was
Speaker:created because they no longer were a
Speaker:superpower.
Speaker:Because under the Ottoman Empire,
Speaker:they were a superpower.
Speaker:They didn't need to draw from anybody
Speaker:else.
Speaker:So once they collapsed,
Speaker:and the West had gained prominence,
Speaker:it became a mortal enemy in a different
Speaker:fashion.
Speaker:They needed to switch tactics because
Speaker:military conquest was no longer an option.
Speaker:That's where the civilizational...
Speaker:Basically,
Speaker:what you describe as what the Marxists and
Speaker:socialists were doing with humanism and
Speaker:collectivism was basically the same as a
Speaker:civilizational jihad.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It is a civilizational jihad against the
Speaker:West, against Christendom.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:The most important thing that they knew
Speaker:they had to do, as I said,
Speaker:is to attack God and Christianity and
Speaker:needed to get it out of the schools.
Speaker:And they pushed this movement to say that
Speaker:religion has no place in public schools.
Speaker:And back in,
Speaker:I had it written down here,
Speaker:A man by the name of Charles Potter
Speaker:wrote a book called Humanism,
Speaker:a New Religion.
Speaker:So interestingly enough,
Speaker:that they said God has no place in
Speaker:our schools.
Speaker:And in nineteen sixty in the early
Speaker:nineteen sixties,
Speaker:the Supreme Court upheld that having a
Speaker:Bible and prayer in schools was
Speaker:unconstitutional.
Speaker:So they were able to.
Speaker:That's how long it took from the eighteen
Speaker:twenties.
Speaker:until nineteen sixty that they were able
Speaker:to finally get what they wanted and that
Speaker:was to get christianity out of the schools
Speaker:right in the name of getting religion out
Speaker:of schools right only to insert a religion
Speaker:and two religions actually because islam
Speaker:is taught in schools so they were able
Speaker:to successfully push uh the entrance of
Speaker:islam as a history subject as a world
Speaker:religion subject but christianity is not
Speaker:taught the same way that islam was taught
Speaker:You can't even,
Speaker:you'll get fired as a teacher.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You'll get fired as a coach.
Speaker:Kids aren't allowed to pray.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:So, but the...
Speaker:The overwhelming theme,
Speaker:I see a lot of people,
Speaker:a couple of people got upset at my
Speaker:latest clip that I posted for my podcast
Speaker:with Pastor Jack about Sharia.
Speaker:And so I wanted to clarify something.
Speaker:So people are saying, no,
Speaker:we can ban Sharia because it's seditious.
Speaker:It's treasonous.
Speaker:It's just not compatible with U.S.
Speaker:law.
Speaker:And so I wanted to specify that what
Speaker:I did in...
Speaker:to a certain extent in the podcast too,
Speaker:is that Sharia encompasses everything a
Speaker:Muslim does.
Speaker:So the way that he prays,
Speaker:a woman's hijab,
Speaker:everything that a person does,
Speaker:fasting Ramadan, is encompassed in Sharia.
Speaker:So as of now, the way the U.S.
Speaker:Constitution,
Speaker:we're not even talking about the
Speaker:establishment clause,
Speaker:we're talking about the free exercise of
Speaker:religion in the First Amendment,
Speaker:is that people are allowed to practice
Speaker:their religion freely.
Speaker:The government cannot stop religious
Speaker:practices unless it has it passes strict
Speaker:scrutiny,
Speaker:meaning it has to have an overwhelming
Speaker:reason why it stops it.
Speaker:So what we're what we're going to talk
Speaker:about is what laws in Sharia that the
Speaker:U.S.
Speaker:government at the state and federal level
Speaker:can stop.
Speaker:There are giant chunks of it that we
Speaker:can stop,
Speaker:but just the mantra ban Sharia is not
Speaker:practical the way our U.S.
Speaker:laws are constructed.
Speaker:And that is why Governor Abbott's law
Speaker:that's called an anti-Sharia legislation
Speaker:is facially wrong.
Speaker:neutral, read the law.
Speaker:There is no mention of Sharia in that
Speaker:law.
Speaker:He calls it an anti-Sharia law because
Speaker:that's why he wanted to impose it.
Speaker:But that's not.
Speaker:But inside the legislation,
Speaker:it does not include any specific mention
Speaker:of Islam because that would get struck
Speaker:down as unconstitutional.
Speaker:So it's actually quite a clever
Speaker:legislation and exists, I think,
Speaker:now in fourteen other states.
Speaker:So we'll talk a little bit more about
Speaker:that.
Speaker:But
Speaker:most importantly as christians we cannot
Speaker:rely on the federal government to solve
Speaker:all of our problems we cannot you know
Speaker:trump is not going to solve all of
Speaker:our problems and we have to have a
Speaker:ground game and it's really important for
Speaker:the church for christian families to build
Speaker:a ground game rooted in truth encourage
Speaker:and biblical clarity okay
Speaker:So first.
Speaker:This is your wheelhouse.
Speaker:I'm gonna let you take this for a
Speaker:bit.
Speaker:well it applies to both right yeah so
Speaker:um not this part but yeah well i
Speaker:mean if they when they call it a
Speaker:religion so the establishment clause
Speaker:versus religious freedom we talked about
Speaker:that briefly briefly but the whole um
Speaker:twisting the removal of scripture and the
Speaker:bible from schools went way too far the
Speaker:establishment clause was that government
Speaker:should not establish a religion so we're
Speaker:not supposed to have a state religion
Speaker:but it was not intended by the drafters
Speaker:to ban religion.
Speaker:It was just the state wasn't supposed to
Speaker:implement a state-mandated religion.
Speaker:Just real quick,
Speaker:I want to help Corrine out.
Speaker:Sorry,
Speaker:I was reading her name and trying to
Speaker:say her real name.
Speaker:Corrine,
Speaker:just underneath the video that you're
Speaker:watching right now,
Speaker:there should be a share button.
Speaker:Just click on that share button and the
Speaker:link should come up and you can post
Speaker:it on your Facebook page.
Speaker:or in a text message.
Speaker:Okay, so if we misunderstand our rights,
Speaker:then we will never use them.
Speaker:So if we think we do not have
Speaker:the right to talk about religion because
Speaker:of the establishment clause,
Speaker:then we've lost the game.
Speaker:Because we absolutely, as citizens,
Speaker:can talk about religion all we want.
Speaker:And we can advocate for our religion all
Speaker:we want.
Speaker:Just look at what the Muslims are doing.
Speaker:And so,
Speaker:as I said in the podcast too,
Speaker:we can't blame them for wanting to defeat
Speaker:us.
Speaker:The problem is we're not doing enough
Speaker:ourselves in response.
Speaker:So we've drafted, you know,
Speaker:several ideas for because I've gotten tons
Speaker:of comments and questions asking me,
Speaker:as I stated earlier,
Speaker:about what they can do in response.
Speaker:So we wanted to lay some of those
Speaker:out.
Speaker:Federal leadership,
Speaker:you want to talk about that a little
Speaker:bit about what their priorities are and
Speaker:why we can't expect the federal government
Speaker:to lead?
Speaker:No, I think you should take that.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You're more federal, I'm more state.
Speaker:So federal priorities are always economic.
Speaker:They're not moral.
Speaker:We're not expecting the federal government
Speaker:to implement Christian values.
Speaker:That's the establishment clause.
Speaker:So we do not expect our federal government
Speaker:to implement moral laws.
Speaker:When you look at the Trump administration,
Speaker:it's dollars and cents.
Speaker:When you look at our State Department,
Speaker:it's dollars and cents, diplomacy.
Speaker:What can we give to get something we
Speaker:want?
Speaker:So it's not up to them to empower
Speaker:Christians in this country.
Speaker:It's really up to us.
Speaker:And most of these cultural and spiritual
Speaker:battles are won locally.
Speaker:And that's why what we do locally is
Speaker:so tremendously important.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:just now I can add to that is
Speaker:that one of the biggest issues that they
Speaker:found in changing our education was this
Speaker:sexual issue all the way back in the
Speaker:early nineteen hundreds.
Speaker:Knowing that if they could bring a.
Speaker:A breakup of the moral culture of
Speaker:Christianity.
Speaker:The way to do that was through sexuality
Speaker:because it's all over the Bible,
Speaker:number one.
Speaker:Doesn't Pastor Bob always say that
Speaker:idolatry follows sexual sin?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And continuing to lower the grade where
Speaker:sexual education and bringing in sexual
Speaker:books and ideologies into even math,
Speaker:even into history,
Speaker:is the way that they are
Speaker:indoctrinating the kids by opening up that
Speaker:little door i talked about this before
Speaker:this window of uh into their brain so
Speaker:that they could stick as much
Speaker:indoctrination in and once you start to do
Speaker:that and that's why it's getting all the
Speaker:way down to elementary they they do
Speaker:believe the any the national educators
Speaker:association believes that sex education
Speaker:should start in elementary school starting
Speaker:in kindergarten
Speaker:um and and it's horrific if you read
Speaker:some of these sex ed books it's the
Speaker:most disgusting thing you've ever seen
Speaker:just talk about we have to stop sex
Speaker:education altogether because it again it's
Speaker:getting into a point that is dangerous for
Speaker:children uh leading into their future
Speaker:because it just it opens up a door
Speaker:that is very difficult to close again
Speaker:that's why the bible talks about it so
Speaker:much just because it's one thing that
Speaker:leads to every other sin
Speaker:And so the NEA,
Speaker:the National Education Association,
Speaker:understand it is not, again,
Speaker:I bring it up,
Speaker:if I bring up the California Teachers
Speaker:Association, which is part of the NEA,
Speaker:they say that I'm attacking teachers.
Speaker:There are some good teachers,
Speaker:but they also end up being, I think,
Speaker:unfortunately,
Speaker:useful idiots in the sense that they
Speaker:believe that what the NEA says is
Speaker:fantastic because they're trained from
Speaker:their time in university to become a
Speaker:teacher, to get their credentials.
Speaker:Because they say they must have
Speaker:credentials,
Speaker:which means they must go to these
Speaker:universities and learn how to indoctrinate
Speaker:and why it's okay to put sexual issues
Speaker:in things other than sex education.
Speaker:In other words, math, reading, history,
Speaker:science, that they plug that in there.
Speaker:And so we are late to this game.
Speaker:And it is rooted now in our education
Speaker:system and needs to be taken out.
Speaker:But it has been, we're way behind.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:And it's really strange.
Speaker:Again, we find this often,
Speaker:especially with Islam,
Speaker:is that they don't believe in any of
Speaker:that stuff.
Speaker:They don't believe in abortions.
Speaker:No, and not aborting their kids.
Speaker:And the LGBTQ,
Speaker:which is part of the sex education,
Speaker:that's a huge part of the NEA.
Speaker:If you go to the NEA's website,
Speaker:it is mostly about LGBTQ.
Speaker:It has nothing to do with math, reading,
Speaker:history, how to think critically.
Speaker:It's about LGBTQ.
Speaker:That's their most important topic that
Speaker:they're on all the time.
Speaker:And that covers not only sex,
Speaker:but decreasing Christian procreation.
Speaker:It's basically discouraging kids to want
Speaker:to have children by being with somebody in
Speaker:the same sex.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:And so that's why our reproduction rate is
Speaker:like one point four or one point eight
Speaker:or something nowadays.
Speaker:The most important thing for them when
Speaker:they started this back again in the early
Speaker:nineteen hundreds and late eighteen
Speaker:hundreds was that they knew that it would
Speaker:destroy the nuclear family.
Speaker:That was that was the goal.
Speaker:And they knew that all the way back
Speaker:then.
Speaker:I know we're just hearing about it now.
Speaker:And I thought it was just a new
Speaker:thing.
Speaker:Again, five years ago,
Speaker:I thought this is just something came up
Speaker:with through CRT.
Speaker:um um but now this is something they
Speaker:just keep changing these acronyms and it's
Speaker:all the same stuff scl is even worse
Speaker:social emotional learning it is worse than
Speaker:crt if we were able to ban crt
Speaker:and wanted to ban crt we must ban
Speaker:scl that must get out it is i
Speaker:heard it described it not exactly this way
Speaker:but it's like a plucked heart is really
Speaker:tasty
Speaker:to kids,
Speaker:but they're putting a drop of arsenic on
Speaker:there.
Speaker:Now,
Speaker:maybe the first Pop-Tart isn't going to
Speaker:kill you,
Speaker:but it's the eating the Pop-Tarts.
Speaker:If you eat them on a daily basis,
Speaker:it slowly destroys you and will eventually
Speaker:kill you.
Speaker:And this is what they've been doing.
Speaker:It's this little bit of poison that they
Speaker:put in everything, every aspect of school.
Speaker:And over a period of time,
Speaker:it just destroys a child.
Speaker:But they knew that all the way back
Speaker:then.
Speaker:This is something that's been going on for
Speaker:a very long time.
Speaker:Let's just say hi to our friends.
Speaker:Sure.
Speaker:Karine and Carrie and Kelly,
Speaker:thank you for joining us.
Speaker:We love having you guys on.
Speaker:And Spirit Wind View,
Speaker:thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker:And Pastor Meany Pants.
Speaker:That seems like a contradiction, Pastor.
Speaker:Yes, you can comment.
Speaker:Yes, you can comment.
Speaker:And saying he loved the interview with
Speaker:Bindong.
Speaker:Thank you so much.
Speaker:And if you'd like,
Speaker:you are welcome to send me a message
Speaker:on Facebook.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Sorry.
Speaker:Website's down.
Speaker:Okay, so step one.
Speaker:This is our ground game, folks.
Speaker:So step one, as we've been talking,
Speaker:get educated.
Speaker:Andy's been diving deep.
Speaker:You know, as he said,
Speaker:he thought this started, you know,
Speaker:twenty years ago or thirty years ago,
Speaker:and it's been over a hundred year project.
Speaker:Two hundred year project.
Speaker:Two hundred year project.
Speaker:Yeah, so...
Speaker:you want to understand the problem so that
Speaker:you could adapt your worldview.
Speaker:So once you understand what's happening
Speaker:all around you,
Speaker:then you not only can find vision and
Speaker:purpose for what your role is and what
Speaker:you can do about it,
Speaker:but you also understand the depth of the
Speaker:problem and the depth of the threat.
Speaker:And I think it's super, super important.
Speaker:So-
Speaker:You also not only wanna understand the
Speaker:threat,
Speaker:but you also wanna learn the constitution
Speaker:and the basics of religious liberty so
Speaker:that your strategy is tailored around what
Speaker:is the low hanging fruit,
Speaker:what are the easy things we can do,
Speaker:and then eventually what are the more
Speaker:complicated things to do.
Speaker:Once we gain strength,
Speaker:we can implement federal laws that change
Speaker:the dynamics.
Speaker:We could possibly pass a belief test
Speaker:We used to have one in this country
Speaker:about a belief in God,
Speaker:a belief in the Judeo-Christian God.
Speaker:Who knows?
Speaker:Could that be a possibility?
Speaker:You never know.
Speaker:The oath of office,
Speaker:requiring it be over a Bible,
Speaker:all these allegiance to America,
Speaker:reciting American values.
Speaker:There's all these clever ways at the
Speaker:federal level we may be able to do
Speaker:things,
Speaker:but I think it's more important that we
Speaker:focus on the local issues that we know
Speaker:for a fact
Speaker:A lot of us have been involved for
Speaker:a while now with the school boards and
Speaker:realizing that that's just one piece of
Speaker:it.
Speaker:Yeah,
Speaker:just a book I just wanted to share
Speaker:with you.
Speaker:I did have it last time,
Speaker:but this is the book I was telling
Speaker:you about,
Speaker:Indoctrinating Our Children to Death is
Speaker:what it's called.
Speaker:You can see it there fairly well.
Speaker:Hold on.
Speaker:It's okay.
Speaker:Just tell me who wrote it.
Speaker:Alex Newman.
Speaker:We're going to keep meaning to tell you
Speaker:to make sure to get him on our
Speaker:show as an interview.
Speaker:But we'll get Alex Newman on to talk
Speaker:about this.
Speaker:But he cites a lot of other books.
Speaker:NEA Trojan Horse is another great book.
Speaker:But this is a great source of information
Speaker:because he cites other books and the
Speaker:writings of the people that are
Speaker:responsible for doing this to our kids
Speaker:over the last...
Speaker:A couple hundred years.
Speaker:Just a couple of names I want to
Speaker:give you that he cites in the book
Speaker:that I really kind of dove into and
Speaker:even researched a little bit more.
Speaker:But it starts with Robert Owen,
Speaker:eighteen twenties.
Speaker:He's one of the first that really began
Speaker:to change education, public education.
Speaker:Horace Mann is another one.
Speaker:He's also in the late eighteen hundreds
Speaker:who assisted with Robert Owen's movement
Speaker:in collectivism and Marxism and communism.
Speaker:bring it into our school john dewey uh
Speaker:from nineteen hundred and about nineteen
Speaker:fifty two was involved in so many aspects
Speaker:of bringing uh socialism into our schools
Speaker:and marxism a really important person to
Speaker:understand what his involvement is and
Speaker:then more lately is howard zinn
Speaker:I wanted to go through those names because
Speaker:those four men,
Speaker:along with a bunch of other people,
Speaker:they're not just the only ones,
Speaker:but they're the primary followers of the
Speaker:teachers in our education system today.
Speaker:They will look at these people fondly and
Speaker:say, yes,
Speaker:I'm a follower of Horace Mann or I'm
Speaker:a follower of John Dewey.
Speaker:We had a school in Beverly Hills named
Speaker:Horace Mann.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:But Howard Zinn, the most recent one,
Speaker:may be equally as evil as all of
Speaker:them put together, but even more so.
Speaker:And the NEA just put out a press
Speaker:release that they are adopting all of
Speaker:Howard Zinn's teachings into their into
Speaker:their support system for public education
Speaker:throughout the United States.
Speaker:And those are just some names I want
Speaker:you to be aware of.
Speaker:You can begin looking them up.
Speaker:Again,
Speaker:if you go to things like ChatGPT or
Speaker:maybe even Grok a little bit,
Speaker:they don't necessarily... They go, oh,
Speaker:he was a humanitarian.
Speaker:And they'll say that he was a professor
Speaker:and all these kinds of things.
Speaker:But when you really dive into their
Speaker:writings...
Speaker:and their studies and the things that they
Speaker:implemented into schools,
Speaker:you will begin to see the evils when
Speaker:you see what it is they're truly doing.
Speaker:Because quite often,
Speaker:like many of the liberals in our politics,
Speaker:they give things a really beautiful name,
Speaker:like social emotional learning.
Speaker:Sounds great, right?
Speaker:But it's not.
Speaker:It's more evil than critical race theory.
Speaker:It is worse than that.
Speaker:And why is it bad?
Speaker:Because it's a it's a matter of sprinkling
Speaker:in the socialist Marxism,
Speaker:humanist things in all of the subjects and
Speaker:teaching kids that they are all equal in
Speaker:the sense that it needs to be a,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:we all need to be the same and
Speaker:one world religion, not of God.
Speaker:Uh, uh, it's a,
Speaker:it's a one thing they also through SEL
Speaker:is they keep data on our kids so
Speaker:that they know everything that they do,
Speaker:everything they think,
Speaker:everything they like,
Speaker:everything that they want to do.
Speaker:And they use that to push more
Speaker:manipulation into our schools,
Speaker:to get them to believe that parents are
Speaker:evil, um, that America is horrible.
Speaker:And it just goes on and on after
Speaker:that.
Speaker:But it's just it's it's just worse in
Speaker:many ways.
Speaker:OK,
Speaker:so Pastor Meany Pants telling us his name
Speaker:is Dean Elder.
Speaker:Nice to meet you, Dean.
Speaker:And he knows Dean.
Speaker:That's awesome.
Speaker:And asks us if we know Pastor James
Speaker:Caddis.
Speaker:I do not know.
Speaker:So, yeah,
Speaker:everyone can reach out to us through
Speaker:Facebook Messenger or Instagram.
Speaker:So the next one,
Speaker:so after we learn and we understand and
Speaker:we educate,
Speaker:really important to show up to city
Speaker:council meetings.
Speaker:So we've been bugging people to go to
Speaker:school board meetings,
Speaker:but don't neglect your city council
Speaker:meetings.
Speaker:And I have a wonderful example to tell
Speaker:you.
Speaker:There is a lady who, by happenstance,
Speaker:went to a...
Speaker:Meeting at the city council,
Speaker:because they were planning to build roads
Speaker:in her horse neighborhood.
Speaker:So she wanted to stop the roads that
Speaker:would take away the ability to ride the
Speaker:horses.
Speaker:And lo and behold at the meeting,
Speaker:they say that the planning commission
Speaker:unanimously approved a plan for a new
Speaker:mosque.
Speaker:And she said.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:I have met maybe five Muslim doctors in
Speaker:this town.
Speaker:I've lived in this town forever and I
Speaker:really have not seen any Muslims.
Speaker:And she's like,
Speaker:I don't understand why we suddenly have
Speaker:this ginormous mosque going up in the
Speaker:middle of our town.
Speaker:And so she did a little digging and
Speaker:found that there is a developer that
Speaker:bought the nineteen acres all around this
Speaker:property that's that's been approved for
Speaker:the mosque.
Speaker:And so.
Speaker:we've talked before about how important it
Speaker:is to understand these problems before
Speaker:they happen because at this stage now she
Speaker:can start mobilizing her local community
Speaker:to say okay let's make sure now the
Speaker:planning commission part is over but they
Speaker:can put pressure on the planning committee
Speaker:to make sure
Speaker:that every I is dotted and every T
Speaker:is crossed.
Speaker:In other words,
Speaker:that they abide by ADA codes,
Speaker:parking codes,
Speaker:the requirements for inside the building,
Speaker:the engineering codes.
Speaker:In other words,
Speaker:make it very difficult for them to
Speaker:continue to build.
Speaker:next question, who owns that land?
Speaker:What is the pressure on that individual?
Speaker:Are they going to get permits?
Speaker:Who are they going to sell it to?
Speaker:And he's selling them off in one acre
Speaker:parcels.
Speaker:But basically,
Speaker:if you see some of these clips on
Speaker:social media about what's happened at
Speaker:Hamtrak City Council meetings or Dearborn
Speaker:City Council meetings or in Texas,
Speaker:they often are going viral.
Speaker:So in other words, there are
Speaker:millions of people who see the average mom
Speaker:or dad stand up at the podium one
Speaker:in dearborn with a pastor and say listen
Speaker:i don't want to hear the call to
Speaker:the muslim call to prayer five o'clock in
Speaker:the morning i don't want to go in
Speaker:my trash can because they're you know
Speaker:they're being allowed to sacrifice animals
Speaker:because of the holidays the islamic
Speaker:holidays so all of these things
Speaker:The reason this stuff is getting through
Speaker:and it's taking over entire neighborhoods
Speaker:in the United States is because nobody's
Speaker:paying attention.
Speaker:Nobody's going.
Speaker:Nobody's participating.
Speaker:So it's really important to start finding
Speaker:out what's actually happening in your town
Speaker:through those city council meetings.
Speaker:I think that one of the biggest problems
Speaker:in Hamtrak and Dearborn is that because
Speaker:the mayors are Muslim,
Speaker:and the chief of police is either Muslim
Speaker:or Muslim friendly,
Speaker:that they're only enforcing the law when
Speaker:it comes to Christians and not enforcing
Speaker:law when it comes to Islam.
Speaker:If somebody were to play Brandon Lake on
Speaker:their car radio too loud,
Speaker:they would be cited
Speaker:Oh, yeah.
Speaker:A lot of people have been arrested for
Speaker:just attending the protests.
Speaker:And there it is an absolute unequal
Speaker:application of the law.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:That is happening.
Speaker:Thank you for correcting me because you're
Speaker:absolutely right.
Speaker:And I knew that,
Speaker:but I just fumbled it.
Speaker:Yeah, there's that extra... Hamtramck,
Speaker:Hamtramck.
Speaker:There's that extra... Yeah, it could be.
Speaker:Oh, boy.
Speaker:Okay,
Speaker:so supporting what is being called
Speaker:anti-sharia legislation.
Speaker:So whether you live in a state that
Speaker:does have it... Sorry,
Speaker:I can't rattle off all fourteen states
Speaker:from the top of my head.
Speaker:But basically,
Speaker:it's legislation that says...
Speaker:There's no contracts that can be enforced
Speaker:or agreements between people that will be
Speaker:enforced by U.S.
Speaker:courts that contravene U.S.
Speaker:law.
Speaker:So in other words,
Speaker:a Muslim couple gets married.
Speaker:The guy decides he's going to dump his
Speaker:wife after thirty years.
Speaker:And he says,
Speaker:I don't have to go to a civil
Speaker:court because in my contract she says she
Speaker:gets nothing and she gets her dowry,
Speaker:her mahar, which is a hundred dollars.
Speaker:And then she's forced to just leave with
Speaker:nothing after thirty years.
Speaker:And he takes the kids.
Speaker:You know, if you have small kids,
Speaker:she's lost rights to her kids.
Speaker:So the anti-sharia legislation are
Speaker:basically saying that's not enforceable.
Speaker:So she can apply to a U.S.
Speaker:court and say,
Speaker:I have an unconscionable contract that was
Speaker:based on sharia.
Speaker:I want my rights enforced.
Speaker:Hugely important.
Speaker:Hugely important.
Speaker:So these legislations are a way to make
Speaker:sure that the U.S.
Speaker:courts are enforcing U.S.
Speaker:law and they're not following sharia law.
Speaker:Now,
Speaker:is there the same problem when you get
Speaker:into those courts?
Speaker:Because I've appeared in Minneapolis,
Speaker:Minnesota,
Speaker:and they didn't like me because I was
Speaker:conservative.
Speaker:But what I was testifying to had nothing
Speaker:to do with politics.
Speaker:It had to do with the training of
Speaker:police dogs.
Speaker:But they didn't want to even listen to
Speaker:me and found against me,
Speaker:mostly because of who I was.
Speaker:They're going to find themselves going to
Speaker:court and losing probably in that
Speaker:jurisdiction.
Speaker:So they almost always have to appeal to
Speaker:get to a district court and then to
Speaker:the Supreme Court.
Speaker:So that's the point of the legislation to
Speaker:avoid the unequal application of the law.
Speaker:So they create a legislation so that she
Speaker:can go into court and say,
Speaker:according to code two, four, six, six,
Speaker:you can't enforce this contract.
Speaker:So for the judge to go against it,
Speaker:the judge is going against what we call
Speaker:black letter law.
Speaker:It's not case law.
Speaker:They don't have an opinion.
Speaker:They're going against black letter law,
Speaker:which can be easily overturned on appeal.
Speaker:So that's the whole purpose of codifying
Speaker:these restrictions so that people don't
Speaker:have to go individually.
Speaker:And they have been going.
Speaker:And they're like,
Speaker:every time they go and they submit this,
Speaker:they're like, well,
Speaker:you signed the contract.
Speaker:So it's enforceable.
Speaker:We don't dictate terms of individual
Speaker:contracts and many lost in court.
Speaker:So that's why Texas and other states put
Speaker:the law so that the courts would not
Speaker:enforce those agreements.
Speaker:They're considered in contravention of
Speaker:U.S.
Speaker:law.
Speaker:Fantastic.
Speaker:Yeah, it really is.
Speaker:It really is huge.
Speaker:I know people hate Governor Abbott for all
Speaker:the grants he's given to Islamic schools,
Speaker:and I still can't figure out what grant
Speaker:program that is.
Speaker:I still have to continue digging.
Speaker:But nonetheless,
Speaker:this is an important step.
Speaker:Is there some type of appeasement he's
Speaker:trying to do because he's coming down on
Speaker:them on one thing?
Speaker:No,
Speaker:I don't think he's in charge of the
Speaker:grants.
Speaker:Hmm.
Speaker:So the grant programs I know,
Speaker:because I've applied for a gazillion of
Speaker:them, I funded my entire career on these,
Speaker:are facially neutral.
Speaker:So you can't,
Speaker:the person who's approving the grants is
Speaker:not the governor.
Speaker:So again, you have like deep state issues,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:So you have deep state people in Texas
Speaker:that are going through these applications
Speaker:and they're like, well,
Speaker:they're applying for food programs or
Speaker:they're applying for school textbooks or
Speaker:feeding the homeless.
Speaker:And we can't discriminate against this
Speaker:person because they've agreed not to
Speaker:proselytize during their humanitarian
Speaker:work.
Speaker:Or through their, you know,
Speaker:their school system.
Speaker:So like, for example,
Speaker:the grant can be to teach social emotional
Speaker:learning.
Speaker:So right.
Speaker:So the feds in the state are pushing
Speaker:social emotional learning.
Speaker:And Islamic school says,
Speaker:give me three hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker:I'm going to educate my private school on
Speaker:social emotional learning.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:But what they do with that money is
Speaker:completely different.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:So like what they do in California.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And if you people may not recall this,
Speaker:but when Trump came in the first time,
Speaker:he stopped a bunch of grants that were
Speaker:going to Islamic centers and it created a
Speaker:huge uproar because they were approved by
Speaker:Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker:They were already allocated and he stopped
Speaker:them.
Speaker:And so he had to give an overriding
Speaker:response on why he was stopping them.
Speaker:And some of them did not get stopped.
Speaker:So they were going around,
Speaker:so they claimed in the grant application
Speaker:that they were educating the public on
Speaker:public safety threats.
Speaker:So, again, facially neutral,
Speaker:nothing to do with Islam.
Speaker:We're educating on public safety.
Speaker:So they had to argue,
Speaker:why was this organization no longer
Speaker:qualified to receive those grants?
Speaker:It's a very difficult process.
Speaker:So he can't publicly say,
Speaker:I will not let any Muslim organization get
Speaker:a grant for social emotional learning.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Because then that becomes discrimination.
Speaker:All they have to do is file suit
Speaker:in court and it'll be overturned.
Speaker:So he has to come up with a
Speaker:facially neutral way of disqualifying
Speaker:them.
Speaker:Hence why he banned the Brotherhood and
Speaker:CARE,
Speaker:because with his terrorist organization on
Speaker:CARE and the Brotherhood,
Speaker:he could say that organization is now
Speaker:disqualified because they're connected to
Speaker:a FTO.
Speaker:So now he can go back.
Speaker:So now he has a mechanism to say,
Speaker:I can stop the funding to the Islamic
Speaker:Center of Texas because they are part of
Speaker:the Brotherhood.
Speaker:But he's going to have to prove it.
Speaker:And then he's going to have to get
Speaker:his deep state people to follow it.
Speaker:So it's not easy,
Speaker:but there's a lot of pressure on him
Speaker:to fix it.
Speaker:So hopefully he's going to come.
Speaker:And I think that's why he's moving step
Speaker:by step doing each of these things,
Speaker:because I really think he wants to try
Speaker:to stop it.
Speaker:An FTO, a foreign terrorist organization.
Speaker:Yes,
Speaker:FTO is a foreign terrorist organization.
Speaker:Just in case somebody didn't know what
Speaker:that was.
Speaker:So as we've been saying forever and a
Speaker:day, engaging school boards,
Speaker:challenging them on teaching Islam in the
Speaker:curriculum.
Speaker:So many kids have talked about how in
Speaker:elementary school or in high school,
Speaker:they're in history class or in religion
Speaker:class.
Speaker:They don't have a religion class.
Speaker:It's usually in a history class.
Speaker:They're taught Islam.
Speaker:They're not taught Christianity,
Speaker:but they're taught Islam.
Speaker:So not only are we fighting boys and
Speaker:girls sports,
Speaker:not only are we fighting social,
Speaker:emotional learning and CRT,
Speaker:but we have to start fighting the teaching
Speaker:of Islam and curriculum at our public
Speaker:schools.
Speaker:And I got to say,
Speaker:socialism is a religion.
Speaker:It's just a religion.
Speaker:It's just it's it's that it's the religion
Speaker:is that there's no God that they worship.
Speaker:that the government is God.
Speaker:The government will take care of all your
Speaker:needs,
Speaker:will make sure and share all of your
Speaker:property equally.
Speaker:You don't own anything.
Speaker:If you have a bicycle on your block,
Speaker:then the neighbor could come and use your
Speaker:bicycle if he wants to.
Speaker:That's actually communism,
Speaker:but socialism turns into communism,
Speaker:just so you know.
Speaker:It is really important to be involved in
Speaker:the schools in so many different ways.
Speaker:And that is to go to the school
Speaker:board meetings and listen to what's going
Speaker:on, the nonsense that's happening.
Speaker:Many teachers are showing up.
Speaker:Many retired teachers are showing up as
Speaker:representatives of the California Teachers
Speaker:Association here in California.
Speaker:or the National Educators Association and
Speaker:seeing who's in there.
Speaker:The same people show up all the time
Speaker:and they're all fighting the same stuff.
Speaker:And unfortunately,
Speaker:one of the worst right now is my
Speaker:son's elementary school teacher.
Speaker:And I keep the pressure on knowing what
Speaker:she's giving the kids to read.
Speaker:Excuse me.
Speaker:Also make sure and just find issues that
Speaker:you find that you want to know more
Speaker:about.
Speaker:And through the Public Records Act,
Speaker:you can request all the communications,
Speaker:all the emails, all the curriculum,
Speaker:and just send it through an email.
Speaker:And you could go on to something like
Speaker:GROK and say,
Speaker:I want to write this letter,
Speaker:a public records account.
Speaker:Write it for me.
Speaker:Thirty seconds, guys.
Speaker:Literally,
Speaker:it'll write it for you in a very
Speaker:professional way and ask for all the
Speaker:emails,
Speaker:any communications regarding certain
Speaker:issues.
Speaker:Right now,
Speaker:mine happens to be the multimillion dollar
Speaker:reconstruction of a kitchen that already
Speaker:exists.
Speaker:Now it's up to six point three million
Speaker:dollars at a high school in Placentia.
Speaker:Apparently,
Speaker:the Trump people are putting it together.
Speaker:They're going to put gold.
Speaker:Everywhere, because how is it that a,
Speaker:a reconstructed kitchen cost?
Speaker:Six point?
Speaker:Three million dollars I've asked again
Speaker:that you won't get everything just so,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:but it's keeping the pressure on that.
Speaker:You're watching that.
Speaker:You want to know what's happening and then
Speaker:send it right back and say, I requested.
Speaker:Like, I did, I requested the, you know,
Speaker:the cost of everything that's going into
Speaker:this project.
Speaker:And the bids.
Speaker:And they refuse to give them to me.
Speaker:But I'm going to stay on them and
Speaker:get what it is they need at some
Speaker:point or learn what it is that's costing
Speaker:six point three million dollars for
Speaker:something that exists.
Speaker:It's a refurbish.
Speaker:Exactly.
Speaker:They're not buying the land.
Speaker:They already own the land.
Speaker:It already exists.
Speaker:They're not buying a new building.
Speaker:They're taking out walls and pushing
Speaker:things out a little bit.
Speaker:But it's not sixteen point six point three
Speaker:million dollars worth.
Speaker:And so part of attending the city council
Speaker:meetings and attending the school board
Speaker:meetings,
Speaker:hopefully leads to influencing our
Speaker:elections locally.
Speaker:So our ground game,
Speaker:all of you saw what Charlie Kirk did
Speaker:for President Trump in order to win that
Speaker:election,
Speaker:along with Laura Trump and so many others
Speaker:that were involved in that ground game.
Speaker:It is getting people involved,
Speaker:not only to vote,
Speaker:but also getting Christ-centered
Speaker:candidates,
Speaker:getting people to actually run for these
Speaker:offices
Speaker:We're in a knockout,
Speaker:dragout fight in Placentia or Belinda.
Speaker:School districts across this country are
Speaker:in a big fight.
Speaker:So we have to have people willing to
Speaker:give their talent and their treasure.
Speaker:So we have to be investing in campaigns,
Speaker:creating packs that will fund these
Speaker:campaigns, fund ads, because...
Speaker:We're up against the NEA.
Speaker:We're up against Apple.
Speaker:We're up against these giant organizations
Speaker:and the Brotherhood lobby.
Speaker:So Mamdani won, you know,
Speaker:he had three hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker:plus that we know of directly coming from
Speaker:CARE sponsored PACs.
Speaker:CARE being the Council on American Islamic
Speaker:Relations.
Speaker:And.
Speaker:Yeah, Dean Dean mentions his care and.
Speaker:Islamic Society of North America,
Speaker:Muslim American Society, actually,
Speaker:they all come out of the brotherhood.
Speaker:So they had different focuses,
Speaker:different original board members.
Speaker:Some of them, a lot of them, overlapped.
Speaker:They all worked together.
Speaker:If you've heard my story before,
Speaker:when I came to D.C.
Speaker:in nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker:we hosted this conference and we mentioned
Speaker:that bin Laden was recruiting for an
Speaker:attack against America.
Speaker:We were banned by all five national Muslim
Speaker:organizations.
Speaker:And it was horrific.
Speaker:It was a really dark time because we
Speaker:couldn't shop in grocery stores.
Speaker:We were kicked out of local Islamic
Speaker:centers.
Speaker:I was Muslim at the time.
Speaker:And we got banned by the State Department
Speaker:for imposing what they considered to be a
Speaker:specter bazaar.
Speaker:And so all of these organizations have
Speaker:been working as fronts for the Brotherhood
Speaker:for a very long time.
Speaker:A lot of that came out during the
Speaker:Holy Land Foundation trial in two thousand
Speaker:six.
Speaker:I can't I can't remember the date it
Speaker:actually started.
Speaker:But was resolved, I believe,
Speaker:in two thousand and seven.
Speaker:One other thing that just came to mind
Speaker:is that,
Speaker:and I know we're jumping from Islam to
Speaker:socialism to communism.
Speaker:It's all the isms that if you believe
Speaker:that your kids are being taught something
Speaker:that goes against your religious beliefs,
Speaker:then the mood.
Speaker:Uh,
Speaker:ruling and there's another one that's
Speaker:escaping me right now.
Speaker:I was trying to remember the name of
Speaker:it,
Speaker:but there's two rulings out there that you
Speaker:can.
Speaker:Opt your kids out of those classes.
Speaker:Now, are they going to deny you?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Because you have to prove that you have
Speaker:a specific religiosity about you.
Speaker:And I'm not sure how they get to
Speaker:that point.
Speaker:Like, what do I have to do?
Speaker:Take you by Bible with lines underneath
Speaker:certain scripture?
Speaker:I'm not sure what it is they got
Speaker:to do.
Speaker:But opt your kids out and just do
Speaker:it.
Speaker:So many people are worried about...
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:making a ruckus or their neighbors might
Speaker:find out,
Speaker:or it were beyond worrying about what
Speaker:other people think when it comes to our
Speaker:kids when it comes to what our neighbors
Speaker:think about us that they think we're mega
Speaker:or they think we're was a Christian
Speaker:nationalist.
Speaker:um beyond that yeah it's too late um
Speaker:to be worrying about that kind of stuff
Speaker:go in there and make a ruckus and
Speaker:say i don't want my child in this
Speaker:class because of the the books that are
Speaker:being presented it goes against my
Speaker:religious beliefs and my child's religious
Speaker:beliefs and opt out of these things again
Speaker:you may be able to get your kids
Speaker:out of those types of situations they may
Speaker:deny you but then take it to the
Speaker:next level after that and that's the only
Speaker:way that we're going to affect what's
Speaker:happening in our schools absolutely
Speaker:So the next one is rallies and public
Speaker:witness.
Speaker:There are certain rallies popping up,
Speaker:especially in Dearborn,
Speaker:most recently with Cam Higbee slapping
Speaker:bacon onto the Koran,
Speaker:trying to burn the Koran.
Speaker:I really don't think our power is
Speaker:demonstrated that way necessarily.
Speaker:I actually wrote an article about one of
Speaker:the members of that rally speaking quite
Speaker:eloquently and articulately at the city
Speaker:council meeting,
Speaker:which I thought was brilliant.
Speaker:But in the rallies,
Speaker:we should merge what Sean Foyt is doing
Speaker:in his Jesus Takes a City with
Speaker:Patriotism.
Speaker:So, you know, singing hymns,
Speaker:carrying flags,
Speaker:talking about Christian unity,
Speaker:being I mean, not that we're afraid,
Speaker:but just showing this the power of our
Speaker:faith and the power of who we are
Speaker:in Christ.
Speaker:And we're strong, we're courageous,
Speaker:we're faithful, we're spiritual,
Speaker:we're loving, we're we're.
Speaker:proud of who we are and do them
Speaker:in cities across America.
Speaker:I was telling Andy that the movement in
Speaker:England, there's a new branch, of course,
Speaker:everybody knows what Tommy Robinson is
Speaker:doing,
Speaker:but there's now called Fly the Colors.
Speaker:And so they created this campaign,
Speaker:they put their talent and treasure behind
Speaker:it,
Speaker:and they're basically advocating for
Speaker:putting the British flag all over the
Speaker:country.
Speaker:on your grocery store, down the street,
Speaker:in front of your house,
Speaker:just constantly flying the colors.
Speaker:And it's created a huge firestorm because
Speaker:people say that's racist.
Speaker:They're like, how is the flag racist?
Speaker:What am I doing that's racist?
Speaker:I'm uniting British people.
Speaker:You're Pakistani?
Speaker:Are you British?
Speaker:Then you're with us.
Speaker:And so it's this very like facially
Speaker:neutral campaign that's about patriotism.
Speaker:But because of all of the blowback
Speaker:it gains international attention.
Speaker:And again, that's something we want.
Speaker:That's the kind of attention we want that,
Speaker:Hey, we're not doing anything that's,
Speaker:that's evil or malicious.
Speaker:We're just asking for national pride.
Speaker:And I think it's a,
Speaker:it's a really good strategy for us here
Speaker:too.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:Point is false.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I'm just talking about his big rallies.
Speaker:I just see a bunch of, you know,
Speaker:I have no idea what his doctrine is.
Speaker:I'm just talking about like just him
Speaker:worshiping with a thousand people on the
Speaker:street.
Speaker:Uh, uh, conference and training.
Speaker:Uh, I went to a worldview conference.
Speaker:I wish there was a thousand people there,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:in Tennessee is that I really encourage
Speaker:you all to watch worldview tube.com.
Speaker:Brandon house.
Speaker:Uh, people have emailed me.
Speaker:How do I get educated?
Speaker:And I was like, you need three channels.
Speaker:One hours, of course.
Speaker:And you can tell which topic you want
Speaker:to cover by the titles.
Speaker:Raymond Ibrahim.
Speaker:Also, he has a YouTube channel.
Speaker:And Brandon House, worldviewtube.com.
Speaker:Get educated quick.
Speaker:Brandon talks about all the same issues we
Speaker:do, both left and, you know,
Speaker:the Islamic issues and the communist
Speaker:socialist issues, the globalist issues.
Speaker:A lot of people calling it the red,
Speaker:green,
Speaker:blue alliance because the blue is the
Speaker:globalists.
Speaker:And it's just, we need more of them.
Speaker:We need, you know,
Speaker:people have asked me to come and speak
Speaker:at their local church.
Speaker:And I'm like, you know,
Speaker:can we get other churches involved?
Speaker:We need to do these kind of joint
Speaker:conferences around the country,
Speaker:just educating people kind of, again,
Speaker:what Charlie was doing.
Speaker:I said on Pastor Jack's podcast that it
Speaker:came to me.
Speaker:I felt like the spirit told me in
Speaker:the middle of that meeting that Charlie
Speaker:was really taken out because of his ground
Speaker:game.
Speaker:And I think he had enemies on all
Speaker:sides because he was building this
Speaker:movement that was going to shape the
Speaker:twenty twenty six election.
Speaker:He had built a massive army and they
Speaker:didn't they didn't want him to succeed
Speaker:again.
Speaker:And so we need to follow that model.
Speaker:Conferences, rallies, student events,
Speaker:creating college campus.
Speaker:And I don't care what anybody, whatever,
Speaker:it doesn't have to be TPUSA on campus,
Speaker:whatever people's opinion of that is.
Speaker:But Christian clubs,
Speaker:student activism clubs, patriot clubs.
Speaker:I started the Young Republicans on my high
Speaker:school campus.
Speaker:Whatever it takes to just show the other
Speaker:side, the Christian side,
Speaker:the patriotic side.
Speaker:I'd like to see it be Christian patriots,
Speaker:but we need a ground game.
Speaker:And do what you can to talk to
Speaker:your pastors.
Speaker:I know before Charlie's death,
Speaker:many pastors were reluctant.
Speaker:to talk about anything that they were told
Speaker:was political.
Speaker:But everything, our life is political.
Speaker:Being Christian is political now.
Speaker:And it probably has been for many years,
Speaker:as we know.
Speaker:Like I said,
Speaker:the Supreme Court said that it's
Speaker:unconstitutional.
Speaker:The Bible is a religion in schools,
Speaker:Christianity in schools.
Speaker:And so talk to your pastors, revisit them.
Speaker:They may be a little bit more opened
Speaker:up or they may be a little bit
Speaker:more closed off.
Speaker:If they're more closed off, then leave.
Speaker:Go to a different church.
Speaker:But we know that we've been able to
Speaker:get some things at our church recently
Speaker:that may have been frowned on before
Speaker:Charlie Clark's death.
Speaker:And we collected ballots during the last
Speaker:election.
Speaker:Yeah, it was amazing.
Speaker:We collected over two hundred fifty
Speaker:ballots with forty eight hour notice.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And it was it was phenomenal.
Speaker:And people were so excited.
Speaker:We have so many elderly parishioners,
Speaker:whatever.
Speaker:I don't know if that's a Catholic word,
Speaker:but people that go to our church.
Speaker:And they were so excited because they
Speaker:didn't want to go down to the voting
Speaker:box and they had no transportation.
Speaker:It was just phenomenal.
Speaker:And that took work.
Speaker:See,
Speaker:what I've also noticed is a lot of
Speaker:people are not planted in their church.
Speaker:And so we gain credibility for these
Speaker:things by being planted.
Speaker:If your pastor is extremely resistant to
Speaker:the point where he tells you you're wrong,
Speaker:leave that church.
Speaker:Go plant yourself in a church where you
Speaker:serve, where you attend,
Speaker:where you participate,
Speaker:and then approach elders, the pastor,
Speaker:junior pastor, worship pastor,
Speaker:whoever you come across,
Speaker:people that you see have been in this
Speaker:church for a long time and be like,
Speaker:I really am passionate about the issue of
Speaker:getting involved.
Speaker:Can we talk about voter ID?
Speaker:Can we talk about supporting candidates?
Speaker:Can we create a real impact chapter here?
Speaker:Can we create a salt and light ministry?
Speaker:whatever it is to kind of build momentum
Speaker:in our churches,
Speaker:because really this ground game will not
Speaker:succeed without our churches,
Speaker:unless there's some independent network
Speaker:that develops
Speaker:like the Muslims have done,
Speaker:unless we create five national
Speaker:organizations that empower Christians,
Speaker:which I think is what TPUSA is attempting
Speaker:to do and TPFaith.
Speaker:But we need to start empowering Christians
Speaker:with information and with a process by
Speaker:which they can get involved.
Speaker:So we're not all doing it by ourselves.
Speaker:Sorry, I'm looking up something to see.
Speaker:I didn't check our other website to see
Speaker:if it's still up.
Speaker:Oh, see if they took that down too?
Speaker:Oh, look, it's still working.
Speaker:Okay,
Speaker:because I need to send some people there.
Speaker:Here I am, Lord, send me.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:Oh,
Speaker:and you want to put a conference together
Speaker:in Alabama?
Speaker:That would be awesome.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Did you hear that?
Speaker:I love Alabama.
Speaker:We should definitely be doing that.
Speaker:And the last step, folks...
Speaker:Inoculate your children and your
Speaker:grandchildren and your nieces and nephews
Speaker:and your godchildren,
Speaker:whoever you have around you.
Speaker:As I mentioned,
Speaker:I had a conversation about socialism with
Speaker:my daughter.
Speaker:We talk about the Palestinian issue often.
Speaker:And it's
Speaker:It's all around them.
Speaker:It's everywhere.
Speaker:And so if they don't understand their
Speaker:biblical worldview,
Speaker:if they don't understand what it means to
Speaker:be a Christ follower,
Speaker:if they don't understand why we support
Speaker:the Jewish people and our common heritage,
Speaker:then...
Speaker:they're going to be lost and they're going
Speaker:to fall prey to all of the isms
Speaker:out there that are trying to take them
Speaker:from their families and from their
Speaker:Christian identity.
Speaker:So please teach them these important
Speaker:values.
Speaker:best time, like you did with Zara,
Speaker:the best time to do that is in
Speaker:the car because they can't go anywhere.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:They have to sit there.
Speaker:But we even call them into our offices
Speaker:and offices,
Speaker:one bedroom and another bedroom,
Speaker:and talk about these things that are going
Speaker:on in their lives.
Speaker:And
Speaker:they take it in and they listen.
Speaker:You just start that communication and they
Speaker:may roll their eyes here and there and
Speaker:that kind of stuff,
Speaker:but you just stick with it,
Speaker:stay at it.
Speaker:I have also found through some other books
Speaker:that I'm reading right now is that we're
Speaker:at this,
Speaker:it's a perfect storm of events that have
Speaker:happened over the last several years.
Speaker:I've always told people that COVID was the
Speaker:best time in my life that changed
Speaker:everything for me and for us in a
Speaker:positive way.
Speaker:And so we look at it very fondly.
Speaker:I know a lot of people don't,
Speaker:but that's when we found out a lot
Speaker:of this stuff was going on.
Speaker:The other unfortunate thing that happened
Speaker:is in two thousand ten,
Speaker:the the the advent of smartphones and at
Speaker:starting in two thousand ten,
Speaker:the increase of anxiety, depression,
Speaker:suicide in youth increased exponentially.
Speaker:It just skyrocketed and when you have
Speaker:children that are that vulnerable in that
Speaker:weakness,
Speaker:they're going to be open to things that
Speaker:they think are going to make their life
Speaker:easier.
Speaker:Something called Marxism or Socialism
Speaker:where everything is free and everybody
Speaker:just shares and it'll be so much nicer
Speaker:and it's a utopia.
Speaker:That's what it was called back in eighteen
Speaker:twenty that they wanted to begin this
Speaker:utopia where people didn't have to work.
Speaker:That capitalism was horrible.
Speaker:United States of America was evil.
Speaker:And that's where all this kind of stuff
Speaker:starts.
Speaker:And so they're open for it right now.
Speaker:So talking to them about it, you know,
Speaker:our twelve year old,
Speaker:he doesn't have a phone.
Speaker:our fifteen-year-old loses his phone
Speaker:constantly.
Speaker:The punishment is longer periods of time
Speaker:without that phone.
Speaker:And so I explain to them why.
Speaker:Now that I'm armed with more information,
Speaker:I can tell them why it's important that
Speaker:they're not on their phones all the time.
Speaker:So you just have to begin to have
Speaker:these conversations with your kids and
Speaker:often and talk to them about what's going
Speaker:on in the world.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:Sorry about my voice.
Speaker:I think I caught the flu a couple
Speaker:of days ago.
Speaker:It's still acting up.
Speaker:Uh, roll tide roll.
Speaker:Is that an expression I should know?
Speaker:Alabama.
Speaker:Oh, is it the football team?
Speaker:Sorry.
Speaker:What is it?
Speaker:What does it refer to?
Speaker:Uh, uh, the red roll tide,
Speaker:the red tide.
Speaker:Well, uh,
Speaker:Vinny and Dean are very excited about a
Speaker:conference in Alabama.
Speaker:So let's see if we can make that
Speaker:happen.
Speaker:That's awesome.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Everything's set up and we'll show up.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Well, you know,
Speaker:what's actually difficult right now is I'm
Speaker:going to create a spreadsheet because I'm
Speaker:getting requests to come to certain places
Speaker:and I need to cross reference them because
Speaker:I need to find out if like,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:this place in Northern California that
Speaker:wants me to come.
Speaker:If I've gotten something else from
Speaker:Northern California and say, hey,
Speaker:I need you to contact this person so
Speaker:we can make a joint event so we
Speaker:can make it a bigger event because they
Speaker:may not know each other.
Speaker:So it is important to network together so
Speaker:that we can find a way of making
Speaker:this stuff happen, which is awesome.
Speaker:And Dean said something really nice.
Speaker:I feel completely blessed to have found
Speaker:this today.
Speaker:Oh, thank you.
Speaker:We really appreciate that.
Speaker:Bama.
Speaker:Bama.
Speaker:Bama.
Speaker:Bama.
Speaker:It's short for Alabama.
Speaker:I'm sorry.
Speaker:I'm so smart.
Speaker:I'm dumb sometimes.
Speaker:Well, there's certain things, you know,
Speaker:I mean, you're not a big sports fan.
Speaker:And so you would more likely hear that
Speaker:from college football.
Speaker:Ah, yes.
Speaker:Never watched.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So, I mean,
Speaker:I'm sure the students that go to Alabama
Speaker:know all these things.
Speaker:Even the ones that aren't in football
Speaker:because they're surrounded by it all the
Speaker:time.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:I was surrounded by UCLA and USC fighting
Speaker:over football and stuff like that.
Speaker:I didn't pick up much.
Speaker:And I had to tell you yesterday that
Speaker:USC and UCLA had a game.
Speaker:And you're going, oh, okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:He says he'll get us in a...
Speaker:I'll get you two in a condo near
Speaker:the beach.
Speaker:Nice.
Speaker:Nice.
Speaker:That'd be fantastic.
Speaker:By the red tide.
Speaker:Is it really red?
Speaker:Sometimes.
Speaker:Oh, how awesome.
Speaker:Ouch.
Speaker:Laughing hard.
Speaker:Yeah, I know.
Speaker:I can be that way sometimes.
Speaker:Hedy,
Speaker:I'll see if I can hook you up
Speaker:with Pastor Jed.
Speaker:Solid ground church.
Speaker:That sounds awesome.
Speaker:I also believe my friend...
Speaker:Oh my gosh,
Speaker:why is it drawing a blank?
Speaker:Joby is out in Alabama.
Speaker:Oh, wow.
Speaker:Yeah, Pastor Joby.
Speaker:Anybody know Joby?
Speaker:Pastor Joby out in...
Speaker:I believe it's Alabama.
Speaker:Yeah,
Speaker:please don't tell us he's bad because...
Speaker:He has churches all over the place.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I don't know how many he has,
Speaker:but he's got all the satellite churches.
Speaker:He said, no, not the tide that's red,
Speaker:it's the soil.
Speaker:Oh, the soil.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Cavalry solid ground.
Speaker:Oh, that's interesting, but...
Speaker:Oh, no, not OB, Joby.
Speaker:J-O-B-E-Y.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Let me pull up the name of his
Speaker:church.
Speaker:Oh, wait, wait.
Speaker:Can you get to the scripture at the
Speaker:bottom?
Speaker:He's a great men's pastor.
Speaker:I like him,
Speaker:even though I'm not a man.
Speaker:That's good stuff, though.
Speaker:Well, we have a lot more topics here,
Speaker:Snooks.
Speaker:No, we did all this.
Speaker:Oh, about Romans.
Speaker:Crosspoint City Church, it's called.
Speaker:No?
Speaker:No, it's numbers.
Speaker:Oh, they copied him.
Speaker:The Church of the Eleven.
Speaker:Oh, there.
Speaker:The Church of the Eleven Twenty-Two.
Speaker:Oh, I'm on the wrong thing.
Speaker:Let's see if we can find out where
Speaker:they are.
Speaker:Um...
Speaker:Yeah, if you're a man,
Speaker:you need to start following Job.
Speaker:Can you do the scripture?
Speaker:Romans,
Speaker:for everything that was written in the
Speaker:past was written to teach us so that
Speaker:through the endurance taught in the
Speaker:scriptures and the encouragement they
Speaker:provide, we might have hope.
Speaker:I don't like that he said might.
Speaker:That's just one translation.
Speaker:I have hope.
Speaker:The reason I put this scripture is
Speaker:oftentimes when you talk about bold and
Speaker:courageous and strong in the Lord and the
Speaker:Lord's vengeance and wrath against
Speaker:idolatry, people say that's Old Testament.
Speaker:Jesus was just about love.
Speaker:and so it's i think it's so important
Speaker:to remember that we have one bible it's
Speaker:a continuous story of god to his people
Speaker:and that jesus the only way we know
Speaker:jesus is the christ is by the fulfillment
Speaker:of prophecies that were in the old
Speaker:testament so it is you know we we
Speaker:need to take the bible in its entirety
Speaker:one part is not fables and the other
Speaker:part truth it is all truth infallible
Speaker:Spirit breathed into man God's love story
Speaker:to humanity.
Speaker:And so I didn't list you all of
Speaker:those scriptures, Deuteronomy, Joshua,
Speaker:just all of the scripture where God is
Speaker:repeatedly telling the people of Israel,
Speaker:be strong and courageous for your Lord God
Speaker:is with you.
Speaker:And so I wanted to include Romans fifteen
Speaker:four just to encapsulate everything that's
Speaker:in the Old Testament.
Speaker:Starting in Genesis,
Speaker:it talks about the arrival of Jesus.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:It's spectacular.
Speaker:First Corinthians, sixteen, thirteen.
Speaker:Be on your guard.
Speaker:Stand firm in the faith.
Speaker:Be courageous.
Speaker:Be strong.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:Romans eight, thirty one.
Speaker:What then shall we say in response to
Speaker:these things?
Speaker:If God is for us,
Speaker:who can be against us?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Simple.
Speaker:We are more than conquerors in Christ
Speaker:Jesus.
Speaker:That scripture continues on.
Speaker:And that really speaks to why you need
Speaker:to just start standing up for your kids,
Speaker:regardless of what... I mean, so many...
Speaker:I can't tell you how many parents come
Speaker:up to me in...
Speaker:uh, sprouts in, uh, you know,
Speaker:whatever grocery store I'm at Costco and
Speaker:say, Hey,
Speaker:I recognize you from your videos.
Speaker:Uh, I, I, and I,
Speaker:I really appreciate what you're doing.
Speaker:He goes, and they, then they,
Speaker:then they finished with, I can't,
Speaker:I can't do that.
Speaker:I can't do it because, you know,
Speaker:my sister might get mad at me.
Speaker:Or I can't do that because I work
Speaker:in the school district.
Speaker:Or I can't do that because of my
Speaker:job.
Speaker:Well, what?
Speaker:Priorities.
Speaker:You got to think.
Speaker:You got to think.
Speaker:Country's burning, folks.
Speaker:You got to be kidding me.
Speaker:Country's burning.
Speaker:Can you imagine a soldier going through
Speaker:boot camp and getting all ready and you
Speaker:have to be deployed to Venezuela?
Speaker:No, I can't because, you know,
Speaker:my brother's wife is from Venezuela.
Speaker:Well, guess what?
Speaker:Actually,
Speaker:they interviewed a number of Muslims
Speaker:saying, would you fight in the U.S.
Speaker:Army against a Muslim nation?
Speaker:And they said no.
Speaker:Well, then...
Speaker:out you know and there's another there's
Speaker:another test of loyalty yeah uh so finally
Speaker:uh this is um in honor of the
Speaker:scholar raymond ibrahim's new book two
Speaker:swords of christ uh and he goes this
Speaker:wonderful explanation on how um the
Speaker:knights of the templar and the knights of
Speaker:the hospital uh hospital started from the
Speaker:hospitalers hospitalers
Speaker:It's hard for me to articulate,
Speaker:but it's the beginning of the Crusades.
Speaker:And so he said in the old times,
Speaker:People took this scripture very seriously.
Speaker:So first Jesus sent out the disciples,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:And he said,
Speaker:do not take a bag or a purse,
Speaker:wipe the dust off your feet,
Speaker:go to the next city.
Speaker:But before he goes to the cross,
Speaker:he tells them again that he's going to
Speaker:send them out.
Speaker:And he says, then Jesus asked them,
Speaker:when I sent you without a purse,
Speaker:bag or sandals, did you lack anything?
Speaker:And they said, nothing.
Speaker:He said to them,
Speaker:but now if you have a purse,
Speaker:take it and also a bag.
Speaker:And if you don't have a sword,
Speaker:sell your cloak and buy one.
Speaker:The disciples said, see, Lord,
Speaker:here are two swords.
Speaker:He replied, that's enough.
Speaker:And they took that to mean the two
Speaker:swords of Christ are the spiritual and the
Speaker:physical.
Speaker:that the just war theory of Augustine came
Speaker:out to articulate that Christians are
Speaker:allowed to defend themselves and they are
Speaker:allowed to defend their families and they
Speaker:are allowed to defend their nation.
Speaker:And this weak, just, you know,
Speaker:it's only about love.
Speaker:It is, and you know what?
Speaker:And they were extremely pious.
Speaker:So it could still be about love,
Speaker:but you could still defend yourself.
Speaker:your family and your loved ones and your
Speaker:nation.
Speaker:So this notion that Christianity equals
Speaker:weak men or a weak community or stay
Speaker:silent, that's cowardly.
Speaker:And the Lord curses cowardice and says
Speaker:that they will not enter the kingdom.
Speaker:So we need to reframe how we look
Speaker:at what it means to be a follower
Speaker:of Christ.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:And I think it starts with each and
Speaker:every one of us.
Speaker:Just real quick,
Speaker:I know those of you on Instagram,
Speaker:I promise you,
Speaker:by the time we come back next week,
Speaker:I will fix the problem where our faces
Speaker:aren't showing up on Instagram.
Speaker:We get to see one of our cheeks
Speaker:from time to time.
Speaker:The platform we use changed the way that
Speaker:it shows up on Instagram.
Speaker:Such a shame.
Speaker:We cannot figure out how to get it
Speaker:to stop doing that.
Speaker:It's in the same place as our website.
Speaker:Yeah,
Speaker:we may have to make an adjustment on
Speaker:our camera,
Speaker:maybe move that back a little bit.
Speaker:And then maybe we can make a shameless
Speaker:plug for donations.
Speaker:But how would they reach the donation?
Speaker:Yeah, our website's down.
Speaker:Our website's down.
Speaker:We have a donor box account that I'm
Speaker:going to have to find a way of
Speaker:putting out in our newsletter.
Speaker:So yeah,
Speaker:we've got a tremendous amount of costs
Speaker:coming up trying to rebuild the website
Speaker:and manage social media.
Speaker:So pray for us.
Speaker:How great is that?
Speaker:we love you guys we have a bunch

Speaker:Spirit, Lord,
Speaker:that we will continue to be emboldened by
Speaker:your Spirit that counsels us and advocates
Speaker:for us and prays on our behalf when
Speaker:we do not even have the words, Lord.
Speaker:So we just ask to fill us with
Speaker:Spirit that makes us bold and courageous,
Speaker:Lord,
Speaker:that we
Speaker:We have the faith that if Christ is
Speaker:in us, then who could be against us?
Speaker:And that we have that power within us,
Speaker:that if we have faith the size of
Speaker:a mustard seed,
Speaker:we could say to a mountain, move,
Speaker:and it would be cast into the sea.
Speaker:Lord, you have given us so much.
Speaker:So we ask that you just empower each
Speaker:and every one of us in our own
Speaker:way, Lord, to be faithful to you,
Speaker:to be bold and courageous for the gospel,
Speaker:to defend our families, our communities,
Speaker:our cities, our nation, Lord,
Speaker:that we be that wall of defense against
Speaker:all of the evil that's coming at us,
Speaker:Lord.
Speaker:We ask that you bless Vicki's sister as
Speaker:she goes through this procedure, Lord,
Speaker:that you give her healing and restoration
Speaker:from the pain, Lord,
Speaker:that you comfort her with your presence
Speaker:and that you give the doctors discernment
Speaker:as they go through this procedure, Lord.
Speaker:Thank you in advance for all that you're
Speaker:going to do.
Speaker:And we thank you for faith and those
Speaker:who do not yet know you, Lord,
Speaker:may they come to saving faith in your
Speaker:son, the only begotten son of our...
Speaker:of our heavenly father thank you lord for
Speaker:the blood that runs through our veins
Speaker:thank you for the sacrifice on the cross

Speaker:showing me you're always there.
Speaker:Your love became my anchor when the storms
Speaker:were start to rise.
Speaker:Now I'm living fearless in the power of
Speaker:Christ.
Speaker:Living fearless in your mercy,
Speaker:fearless in your grace.
Speaker:You've broken every chain,
Speaker:now I'm running this race.
Speaker:No more fear, no hesitation,
Speaker:I'm lifting up my eyes.
Speaker:Living fearless in the name of Christ.
